NAME
realxfishdb, fish_props - Display a fishtank on the root
window of an X11 server.
SYNOPSIS
realxfishdb [ -fnn ] [ -bn ] [ -rn.n ] [ -in.n ] [ -d ] [ -s
]
fish_props
DESCRIPTION
realxfishdb displays a fishtank on the root window complete
with swimming fish and bubbles, all in living color. This
demo runs on Open Windows X11/NeWS servers v2 and newer.
Currently only 8 bit color is supported. The fish_props pro-
gram allows the user to preset various options for realx-
fishdb.
OPTIONS
-fnn The number of fish. The default is 2. This option is
ignored if you have used the fish properties sheet and
a ~/.fishrc file can be found.
-bn The number of bubbles. The suggested number is 0 since
they take a significant amount of CPU power. The
default is 0.
-rn.n
Fractions of a second between refresh updates. On an
SS1 with about 8 fish and no hardware multibuffering
support, setting this to 0.3 leaves you enough CPU
power to continue to edit or read mail. Default is 1.0
(which corresponds to 100 on the property sheet). This
option is ignored if you have used the fish properties
sheet and a ~/.fishrc file can be found.
-in.n
Maximum fish increment. For those who like smoothly
moving fish, set this value to a low value such as 0.2.
The default is 1.0 (which corresponds to 100 on the
property sheet). This option is ignored if you have
used the fish properties sheet and a ~/.fishrc file can
be found.
-d Use the X11 Multibuffering Extension in OWv3 and newer
Open Windows servers. This is not recommended unless
you have hardware support for multibuffering since it
further drains memory and CPU power. The default is
off. This option is ignored if you have used the fish
properties sheet and a ~/.fishrc file can be found.
-s Secure mode. The default is off. This mode covers all
windows on the screen and runs in a secure mode. Win-
dows can't even be popped up to stop the program in
this mode.
fish_props is a fish properties sheet which allows the user
to select the fish used in the program, the display mode,
the refresh rate, and the maximum fish increment. After mak-
ing selections press the apply button to save selections in
the ~/.fishrc file. realxfishdb attempts to read this file
when it starts.
ENVIRONMENT
There are image files in the $OPENWINHOME/share/images/fish
directory which are required to run realxfishdb.
FISHHOME Indicates an alternate path for fish_props
and realxfishdb to search for the fish files
otherwise if they can't be found in the
$OPENWINHOME directory the final path
attempted is the ./fish directory relative to
where the executable lives.
FILES
$HOME/.fishrc Contains the options set by running
fish_props. realxfishdb attempts to read
this file upon startup.
$OPENWINHOME/share/images/fish/*.im8
Image files necessary to run fish_props
and realxfishdb.
NOTES
Be patient when starting this program, it processes a lot of
pixels before starting up. Also, it runs on the root window
so don't be alarmed when windows temporarily disappear.
If you would like your very own copy you will need the
fish_props and realxfishdb executables and all the files
from the ./fish subdirectory.
This is an adaptation of an existing X11 application called
xaqua of unknown origin.
BUGS
Both fish_props and realxfishdb dump core if the ./fish
directory does not contain the required image files.
The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in a
future release. You may want to migrate to CDE, the Common
Desktop Environment.
